In a blink of an eye, our known way of living came to a sudden stop. Many of us were paralyzed by the fear and the uncertainty of it all. Many of us were called to step up and be a beacon of light for those in need. No matter what our initial response was to the changed atmosphere, it required us all to pull on extra resources. It’s probably safe to say that we are over the initial shock. However, the shock comes in waves, and we are now experiencing the after-effects.
